The earliest enter-leave-enter chance in TAR1, episode 2 looked a little farfetched even if you put 100 people in that situation, but I would have loved to see at least one team choosing that "Far" safari option.

(RANDOM THOUGHT: If money weren't a factor, I really want to trace the very first and partially second leg personally by actually traveling to Zambia. Victoria Falls (Knife's Edge & Boiling Pot)... Batoka "George" ... Songwe and Mukuni Village... WHITEWATER RAFTING!... and definitely the safari sightseeing...)

Here is a really odd one:The last time teams had to travel by plane on the 5th leg was Season 15. Seasons 16-21 had no flying on the 5th leg.16: bus transported them to France for start of leg17: drove over border into Norway18: took train back to Kunming19: took bus to Bangkok20: took train to Austria, drove over border to Germany21: Stayed in BangladeshIs that an odd pattern or what

The fourth leg is usually a TBC or NEL and thus on several accounts they stayed at the same place to complete the leg. This didn't happen in TAR 21 though. But considering they are trying to save costs by having two legs in the same country, it sure didn't occur that 5th leh was always non-flight for so many seasons in a row already!

Thanks for the interesting stats!!
